The versatility of the DTE Envirodrum allows for customized applications to meet the needs and goals of the operation. By providing a controlled environment, which can easily manage leachate and emissions, the Enviro-Drum is an attractive complement to static piles or windrows in institutional settings such as universities, hospitality, corrections and others. With proper mixing and aeration, the composting process can be greatly accelerated, leading to reduced land and storage requirements and much lower manpower and other operating costs.
